Personally, I think the airline is doing fine compared to many other sectors of our economy. We need to sit tight ride through the storm, then hopefully things will turn around shortly.
Yes, sit tight and ride the storm out.

Just know too though, that most of those Bear Sterns employees, make a pretty damn good living off of speculation.

I'm sure each and every one of them (sans janitors - which were probably contracted out anyway) have a nice little nest-egg to get them through the tough times.

Hopefully none of them were living outside of their means. . .
